OK, getting back to work.

My first chore was to get the car off the wheeled dolly. I figure that the total weight, and balance, with the drive train installed might be too much.

Two floor jacks under the back, lifting on the engine mount brackets.

And my engine jack, aka motorcycle lift, on the suspension cross member in front.

And then down onto my trusty Esco jack stands. I don't expect the car to be on wheels again until its ready for the road.

Time to get as much finished on the engine, since the access is easier now.

First, new spark plugs.

Plugs checked and gapped, and installed. I took the intakes off to remove the paper towels I had blocking the head ports (and then install the intakes with gaskets).

I also got rubber boots for the plug connectors.

Installed. The holes for the rear plugs are near-perpendicular to the plug axis, so the boots sit even. The forward holes are more oblique, so the boots sit less even.

Fuel lines run and clamped, and the throttle bodies bolted on. I then ran all the cables for the EFI and ignition components. I need to lay out some brackets and retainers.

Thanks, guys. It feels close--but close could be a couple of months. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

I am still sorting out all the new electrical connections. With the new EFI system, the power for the fuel pump comes from the new relay box, that will be in the trunk along with the ECU. I need to get power to the relocated pump, which uses the stock pump wiring (extended to reach the front).

Lots of detective work tells me that pin 12 on the rear plug, on the stock relay board, connects to the pump. I confirmed this by running a lead to pin 12--and the pump runs!

More about my wiring plan. I want to modify the 12-pin cable to bridge the new EFI system with the stock car system.

The cable housing is pretty rigid and brittle.

I still need the stock 12-pin cable wires for the starter, the back-up switch on the transaxle, and the oil pressure switch. The original leads to the coil will be repurposed to send ignition-on to the new relay box, and to carry the signal to tach.

I removed the original lead on pin 12, which supplied power to the supplementary air valve.

And I replaced it with a new thicker gauge red wire to feed power for the fuel pump.

I checked all the wires and then replaced the brittle covering sections.

The rebuilt engine cable with all terminals replaced, and two double-connectors for the fuel pump and the ignition on/tach feed leads. All terminals and connectors soldered on.
